[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an integrative nutrition health coach. Ask me anything.

Functional medicine: only an MD can obtain this additional education

Integrative medicine: these are the "healing arts" that are integrated with western medicine.

Health coach from integrative nutrition: these are people who've experienced/studied using food to gain health[/quote]

OP here, thank you for the distinction and for being open to questions.  Based on the suggestions of others posters, I'm just going to let this go and let her life her life, but I do have questions and I appreciate the opportunity to ask them.

Given your title, I'll assume you do not have an MD degree, do you have a degree in nutrition?  If not, and I apologize for being brash, but I'm not sure how else to ask this, but why do you feel it's appropriate for you to give serious health advice?  In particular, I'm struggling with how a non-health professional is qualified to give sound medical advice after attending a workshop for several days. I realize this may not be a pertinent concern depending on your level of training, but this is where my sister is right now.  Are you able to make money with this career (assuming this is your full time career)?[/quote]
